Hi backers,

We have decided to team up with Backerkit to help us out with spreading the Indiegogo survey. With the help of Backerkit, we can get the most accurate information for product choices and address details. Also, we will be able to integrate with our shipping & fulfillment parties. This way we have the most up to date information, even if people change their address details after filling out the survey. 

We will send out the survey this week and also post an update on Indiegogo about the survey. Make sure you fill in your survey! We would like the shipping and fulfillment to go as smooth as possible when we ship your pair of Knops! :)

Much love,

The Knops team.

Dear backers, 

As you might have noticed we are expanding with a smooth functioning, good-looking webshop where you can pre-order your own pair of Knops. 

Unfortunately, we have just discovered there is a fake website going around!! Under the url ‘Knops.us’ someone has copied our entire website. 

The why’s are still unclear. Probably some other entrepreneurs have smelled our success

Hi backers,

As promised some news about the production of Knops. We’re happy to say that the molds are ordered. With these molds, your pair of Knops will be produced. Take a look at the pictures below to get an idea of the machines that we use to produce your product.

This machine can be used to form the main shape of the mold

We use this tool to polish the mold

With this equipment, we can remove a minimal surface area of the upper layer of the mold

Regarding the timeline we shared during the campaign, you can see that we planned to order the molds in July. However, don’t worry, we’re still on schedule due to the pre engineering that we did before ordering the mold. This means that the engineering part after the molds arrive takes less time.

We'll keep you posted about further development and news about Knops and you'll hear from us soon!

Much love,

Team Knops

Hi Backers!

We have some news to share with you about the new prototypes!

In our previous update on June 13th, we informed you about finalizing the engineering of Knops. In the photos below you can see the new prototypes, based on the improvements we made on the engineering part. The ergonomics of the housing have been updated and has now a more slim body, ensuring that the comfort is increased and the fit is nice, snug and slim. The parting lines in the final product will not be as visible as in this new prototype. The prototype has a black cone and the body is white, we did this to separate the actual product from the prototypes.

In the center of the photo, you see the new prototypes. 

The body is slim in comparison to the previous prototype.

On the left, you see the old prototype and on the right the new one (slim body).​

The ring of the new prototype (right) is thinner than the old one (left).​

Somewhere within the next two weeks, we will have a new update about the production of Knops!

Much love, 

Team Knops
